Abstract
A nickel-catalyzed reductive dicarbofunctionalization of 1,1-disubstituted enamides with unactivated alkyl iodides provides 3,3-dialkyl-substituted isoindolinones. This tandem cyclization/reductive tolerates a broad range of functional groups. The use of a chiral Bn-Biox ligand induces excellent enantioselectivities.
